If they want to donate then fair enough.
Certainly wouldn't criticise the club for opting out.
Thats what its all about for clubs our size, making a bit of cash.

that newspaper certainly had no business printing what Pools response was.

Agreed.
Could be more negative publicity for the club, so perhaps we could donate a % of the revenue to what is a worthy cause. But we certainly should NOT be obliged by Murphy's Mob!

Pools are already committed to charity work both local and the H4H poppy day do. Most companies plan their charity donations in advance and theres no reason why Pools should do differently. Watford are well out of order in trying to embarass Pools into it.

incidentally, the cheeky gets jumped the gun a bit by assuming Yeovil would get through.

I'm sure Pools already help out quite a lot with charities in the area. Its only recently they once again auctioned the shirts for the poppy appeal.
We lose a million quid a year. If Elton can afford to do it then good on him.

exactly Mr I - cockernee wannabee rarfs indeed

when I first read this headline, I though it was about reg dwight becoming a father at the age of 63

was it a natural birth?

A very nice gesture by Watford FC in my opinion.

...which is a fine gesture
but do they then have to make us look bad for not following suit?

Has it been changed, because I can't see any comment about Pools reaction!

where does it say we are not following suit or should or whatever i cant see it?

Maybe the article has been changed.

Maybe we will do that. There's still two weeks left.

I hope we fookin dont, i want us to have the money.

It said earlier something along the lines of Watford being disappointed that Hartlepool decided not to donate their share. In my opinion it is up to Pools to donate to whoever whenever they see fit.
